Sir,

Having made myself acquainted with the circular of the terms offered by his Majesty's Government to persons wishing to settle at the Cape of Good Hope I beg leave to state that I have so far complied with them by procuring the number of persons pointed out in order to obtain the grant of 1000 acres & I am also prepared to pay the sum of £100 deposit.

I have therefore to request you will be pleased to acquaint Lord BATHURST I should be happy to embrace the opportunity offered to emigrants to that place. I am not aware what else is necessary to mention [obscured] I have formerly served but should it be requisite by your having the goodness to point out what further his Lordship may require it shall be immediately complied with

I have the honour to be Sir

Your obed't hble sevt
